still not fic...

I kinda want to read this new book by Michael Cunningham, and I like what he says in the article about the "big gay freakout" or rather, a lack thereof...

"Beauty, in "By Nightfall," dogs the protagonist, a middle-aged straight man named Peter Harris who is ambushed by a confounding lust for his wife's much-younger brother, a 23-year-old wanderer radiating a newness and virility that Peter has lost over time. The awakening of this homosexuality is contemplated with a restraint, maturity and matter-of-factness that seems absent from the media and the public sphere..."

"Peter's attitude to his own sexuality is not some wishful attempt on my part to be modern. It's simply what I see around me."

It's a good article, check it out.

ALSO - Go ask me something! Seriously, I'm bored and I need something to doooooooo! :-D

And on a completely unrelated note:

Actually, I am still here which is all sorts of crazy! :-)It's funny to have a work-thing at Disney before my actual vacation began. The day we had lunch was my first day of vacation! G and I went to the parks a few times this week. It was amazing! He flew home today and Jess joined me down here. So, for the next few days I will still be at Disney.
